How to help us design your flex shaft

Elliott flexible shafts are ideal for transmitting power over, under, around and through obstacles that would hamper other systems.

Our engineers can help you overcome problems of misalignment and vibration, significantly simplifying your rotary power transmission application, but we first need your help to provide you with the best flex shaft solution and ensure top performance.

We encourage you to determine a few parameters in advance:

– Clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
– Continuous or intermittent operation
– Minimum bend radius
– Speed (rpm)
– Start-up and running torque
– Horsepower
– Articulating or static path
– Length
– Approximate path and dimensions

For the best results, also think about the proposed application and environment where the flex shaft will be used.
